The Enforcement Directorate, ED, has filed a supplementary charge sheet before a Delhi court against Christian Michel. He is the alleged middleman arrested in connection with the Rs 3,600 crore AgustaWestland chopper scam.

Special judge Arvind Kumar said, the court will take cognisance of the agency's charge sheet on Saturday.

The agency has named three new entities in its supplementary chargesheet: David Syms, Global Services Ltd and Global Trading Ltd, which were Michel's firms. Michel had used the companies as a conduit for receiving money.

The ED said that the bribe from AgustaWestland was routed through Global Services and Global Trading.

The agency said that further investigation was going on over the role of politicians and bureaucrats involved in the case. Michel was arrested by the ED on 22nd December last year after his extradition from Dubai.
